The first question that comes to mind is are abortion clinics really clinics?
No, they are not medical clinics as they intentionally end human life in violation of the Hippocratic Oath! Perhaps, these places should be called abortion facilities.
These protesters were indicted under what appears to be a very narrowly defined, extreme law, i.e. the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994 to exclusively protect places of abortion.
The violations by these protesters listed in the AP News article seem to be inflated or exaggerated! In particular, a woman with labor pains is mentioned. If a woman has labor pains should an abortion presumably this late, a late term abortion, be allowed? According to Google AI: "Labor pains usually start between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy."
The only significant fact named by the AP News article is that the leader of the protests had allegedly five fetuses in her home.
"The people pardoned were involved in the October 2020 invasion and blockade of a Washington clinic.
Lauren Handy was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for leading the blockade by directing blockaders to link themselves together with locks and chains to block the clinic’s doors.
A nurse sprained her ankle when one person pushed her while entering the clinic, and a woman was accosted by another blockader while having labor pains, prosecutors said. Police found five fetuses in Handy’s home after she was indicted. ...

P.S. So called abortion rights [to kill a human being] is one of the most horrifying euphemisms of our time right up there with e.g. euthanasia or gender affirming care! To allow restricted abortions is one of those necessary, but terrible political compromises. Contraception should be the rule and individual responsibility demands it!
Caveat: I am not familiar with these anti-abortion activities or the prosecutions that followed.
